Filed Aug. 6, 1976, Ser. No. 61,576 Int. Cl. F16k 49/00 US. Cl. 137-334 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOS A Wash apparatus suitable for vehicular mounting has a water tank from which Water is directed to a main for distribution to duplexed wash channels, duplexed rinse channels, a brightener channel, and a steam channel. A pump propels water in the main through a heater and a bypass and delivers hot or cold water to any or all of the channels. The wash channels are capable of discharging hot Wash fluid While the rinse channels simultaneously discharge cold rinse fluid. Detergent, wax, and acid are supplied to the several channels at rates proportional to the respective Water flows. Pressure pumps further increase pressure in the wash channels for discharging wash fluid at high pressures. The fluid in each channel is discharged through a separate nozzle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Some Wash systems having separate water and detergent lines culminating at a common nozzle incorporate a detergent supply valve at the nozzle and are capable of shutting off the detergent flow to provide a water rinse. However, they have several disadvantages. It may not be necessary or desirable that the rinse be at the same temperature as the wash. An uneconomical use of heated water may result. Uneconomically large heating apparatus may waste money and space. An election to wash negates the possibility of a simultaneous election to rinse and visa versa. For example, when washing fleets of ve' hicles, such as trucks parked at a loading dock, it may be desirable for one operator to move along the vehicles continuously washing, followed by another operator performing a rinse operation. It is desirable to wash and to rinse with two different nozzles each having optimum discharge characteristics for a particular operation. Use of a single nozzle compromises the optimum characteristic and detracts from the efficiency of these operations. It is desirable not to pressurize an unused detergent line during a rinse operation.

Other wash systems having separate wash water and rinse water lines which culminate at a common nozzle may have many inherent problems.

Existing wash systems mix a detergent flow with a hot water flow either by gravity feed of the detergent or by pumping a liquid detergent solution into a wash line. In either case, a valve is used to control the detergent flow independently of the water flow. Once the valve is opened. the detergent flow rate becomes constant. But if the water flow rate varies while the detergent flow rate remains constant, the resulting wash fluid may be too rich or too lean with detergent.

Using too rich solutions results in economic waste and is undesirable for sewage systems. Too lean solutions prevent thorough cleaning. The effectiveness of the cleaning operation is adversely affected by varying amounts of detergent in the wash fluid. The problem is acute when solenoid valves or other two position fixed flow valves are used to control the detergent flow.

Washing of fleet vehicles, such as trucks or buses, normally involves the removal of contaminants from exposed metal and painted surfaces. While some contami- United States Patent O nants are suitably removed by a hot water-detergent solution, other contaminants may be more readily removed by other fluids. Additionally, application of a thin film of Wax to cleaned surfaces improves their appearance and decreases the tenacity of adherence of future contaminants.

SUMMARY on THE INVENTION A wash apparatus, suitable for vehicular mounting, has improved means for supplying various additives to fluid flows in several channels and improved means for individually discharging additive-containing fluid from the apparatus.

The invention includes fluid storage means, such as a 1,000 gallon tank, and inlet means for filling the tank with fluid, normally water. Fluid is Withdrawn from the tank through outlet means and is directed to a main. The main further directs fluid to duplexed wash channels, duplexed rinse channels, a brightener channel and a steam channel. Propulsion means, such as a pump, are disposed in the main for propelling fluid through heating means. Means exist to permit fluid to bypass the heating means and to reconnect with the main before the channels. The main is capable of simultaneously delivering hot water to the Wash channel and cold water to the remaining channels. Alternatively, warm or hot water may be supplied to any or all channels.

Means exist for supplying additive to the wash, rinse, and brightener channels at variable rates proportional to fluid flows in each channel. The additives include a detergent, a wax and an acidic brightener.

Pressure pump means are disposed in any or all of the several channels for increasing fluid pressure at the discharge means and for operating additive supply means.

Each channel terminates in a suitable nozzle. The Wash nozzles have high pressure and low flow rate characteristics. Relative to the wash nozzles, the rinse nozzles discharge a rinse flush at lower pressures.

The several channels are operated separately or jointly. Thus, it is possible to perform steam cleaning simultaneously with washing, rinsing, waxing and brightening.

In suitable supply situations, the means used to supply fluid from an external source to the inlet means is not disconnected and is used to continuously replace water depleted by the propulsion means.

One object of the invention is to provide a wash apparatus having a wash line separate from a rinse line to permit simultaneous washing and rinsing.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for performing wash and rinse operations through nozzles having separate discharge characteristics.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for obtaining a consistent additive-containing fluid by supplying additive to fluid by driving an additive pump with the fluid at a rate proportional to fluid flow.

OPERATION A water supply hose is connected to pipe 10 of the inlet means. Suitable alignment of valves 11, 13 and 19 permits water from an external source to enter water tank 21 through the passageway defined by pipe 10, valve 11, pipe 12, valve 13, pipes 15 and 18, valve 19 and pipe 20.

Alternatively, the 'valves are aligned to permit flow through pipe 10, valve 11, pipe 12, valve 13, pipe 14, water conditioner 16, pipes 17 and 18, valve 19 and pipe 20. This latter passageway is particularly useful for situations in which water supplied from an external source is high in carbonates or other deposit-forming compounds.

When the tank is sufiiciently filled with water, valve 11 can be closed to prevent backflow and the hose can be disconnected. If mounted on a vehicle, the apparatus can now be transported to the job site.

Water is permitted to flow from tank 21 through pipe 22 into main 9. Pump 24 propels fluid in the main through pipe 26, check valve 27, pipes 28, 36, 37 and 29, pressure tank 30 and pipes 33, 42, 43, 41, valve 40 and pipes 44, 45, 46 and 47. Boiler 31 heats water in pressure tank 30. Thus, pipe 33 contains hot water and pipe 35 contains unheated or cold Water. The temperature of fluid in the several channels may be regulated by selectively aligning valve 40 to permit unheated water in pipe 37 to mix with heated water in pipe 33. Alternatively, valve 40 can be aligned to restrict hot water to wash channels 50 and 50' and direct cold water to the remaining channels.

Water from main 9 is allowed to enter wash channel 50 by suitable alignment of valve 49, permitting water to flow through pipes 51, 52 and 53, pressure pump 64, pipes 54, 55 and 56, fluid motor 78, pipe 57, check valve 91, pipes 58, 59 and 60, and -wash hose 61 to variable nozzle 62. Fluid motor 78 has an impeller (not shown) disposed in wash channel 50 and operated by a fluid flow in wash channel 50.

The output speed of the fluid motor and the input speed of the detergent pump are regulated with respect to each other by variable speed reduction coupling 80. Detergent pump 82 pumps detergent from detergent tank 88 through pipes 83- and 84, check valve 85 and pipe 86 into Wash channel 50. Pressure pump 64 increases the pressure in wash line 50 to the order of 1,000 psi.

Pressure in pipe 54 is regulated by pressure relief valve 67 directing excess pressure through pipe 68 to feedback pipe 69.

Solenoid 72 communicates electrically with pressure switch 76 and operates valve 70 to release excess pressure in pipe 73 through feedback pipe 69. Wash channel 50 is similarly operated.

Water from main 9 is allowed to enter rinse channel by suitable alignment of valve 102 permitting water to flow through pipe 101, valve 102, pipe 103, valve 104, pipes 105', 106 and 107, and rinse hose 108 to variable rinse nozzle 109. Valve 10 4 can be alternatively aligned to divert rinse fluid flow through pipe 115, fluid motor 116, and pipe 117. Additive wax is pumped from wax tank 110 through pipes 111, 112, wax pump 113 and pipe 114 into rinse channel 100 at a rate proportional to the flow of water therethrough.

Rinse channel 100 is similarly operated.

Water from main 9 is allowed to enter brightener channel by suitable alignment of valve 122, permitting Water to flow through pipe 121, valve 122, pipes 123' and 124, fluid motor 125, pipe 126, pressure release valve 127, pipes 128 and 129, and hose 130 to variable brightener nozzle 131. With valve 133- suitably aligned, acidic brightener is pumped from acid tank 140, through pipe 141, check valve 142, pipe 143, valve 133, pipe 134, acid pump 135 and pipe 136 into brightener channel 120.

Water from main 9 is allowed to enter steam channel by suitable alignment of valve 151, permitting water to flow through valve 151, pipe 152, steam generator 153, pipe 154 and steam hose 155 to variable steam nozzle 156.

Kerosene tank supplies fuel to space heater 171 for preventing ice formation during periods of freezing ambient temperature.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 shown mounted on vehicle 180. Wash hose 61 and rinse hose 108 are laterally accessible. Similarly, wash hose 61' and rinse hose 103' (not shown) are laterally accessible on the other side of the vehicle. Brightener hose 130 and steam hose 155 are accessible through the rear of the van body. The detergent, wax, acid and propane tanks are positioned conveniently near the rear doors of the van body to facilitate filling.

It will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that the various channels may be operated successively or simultaneously by one or more operators. In stationary applications the supply hose need not be disconnected from pipe 10 and steady state conditions may be approached. Detergent, wax and acid are all supplied to their respective channels at a rate proportional to a flow of water therethrough. The flow of each additive is capable of being turned off. Furthermore, the temperature of fluid in each channel may be regulated.
